Instructions
Bars
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick baking spray.
Add the sugar, bananas, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk until combined.
Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir with a spatula until combined.
If you're adding walnuts, stir in ½ cup now until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter in the prepared pan and spread evenly to the edges.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
In a large bowl, add cream cheese and butter. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until smooth.
Add the vanilla and gradually add in the powdered sugar. Beat until all of the powdered sugar is worked into the frosting.
Add spoonfuls of the frosting all over the banana bars and carefully spread it to the edges.
Top with the remaining ¼ cup walnuts, cut and enjoy!
